184: Guests of the Tang family

After hearing these words.

Tang Thirteen was slightly stunned. He slowly raised his head, looking incredulous.

"You just said you wouldn't kill me?" Tang Thirteen was dumbfounded.

"That's right, why would I kill you?" Li Changfeng dismissed the idea with a look of helplessness.

Li Changfeng wasn't some Devil King who would resort to vicious methods, not even sparing a child.

Moreover, the dignified Divine Sword Sect is a renowned orthodox sect.

And how could Li Changfeng, the Young Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect, be so malicious?

This is not something a Young Sect Leader would do.

"But even if you don't kill me, I still want to kill you." A cold glint flashed in Tang Thirteen's eyes as he stared intently at Li Changfeng.

At this moment.

Tang Thirteen stared at Li Changfeng as if he were looking at a monster.

This person in front of him was truly difficult to fathom, making him extremely suspicious.

"Then wait until you have the ability to kill me; right now, you're not strong enough." Li Changfeng glanced coldly at Tang Thirteen.

Li Changfeng wasn't trying to discourage him, but those words certainly struck deep into his heart.

"Damn it! Then I'll kill you now!" Tang Thirteen roared, clenching his fist and smashing it toward Li Changfeng.

Tang Thirteen mustered all his strength and threw his most powerful punch.

But right at this moment.

Li Changfeng didn't dodge at all; he watched Tang Thirteen coldly.

Bang!

Tang Thirteen raised his hand, and his fist landed directly on Li Changfeng's chest.

"Why didn't you dodge?" Tang Thirteen frowned, momentarily stunned, completely unable to understand why Li Changfeng hadn't moved.

"Why should I dodge? If you think you can kill me with just your fist, then go ahead and try; I won't move anyway." Li Changfeng smiled slightly, focusing on Tang Thirteen. "At the very least, I don't believe you can punch me to death."

After hearing these words.

Only then did Tang Thirteen realize that Li Changfeng wasn't deliberately seeking death, but genuinely held him in contempt.

Come to think of it.

Tang Thirteen was just a child; how strong could he possibly be?

If he ended up fighting Li Changfeng, he wouldn't be a match at all.

Moreover, Tang Thirteen had no hope of winning; he couldn't defeat Li Changfeng.

"You! You're too much of a bully!" Tang Thirteen clenched his fists tightly. He was extremely unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

"Kid, this isn't bullying; it's just that your strength is insufficient." Li Changfeng looked down at Tang Thirteen.

"Why don't you consider this: if you could kill me right now, you wouldn't be in this predicament, would you?"

Li Changfeng held his head high, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

And right at this moment.

Tang Thirteen's heart trembled, feeling utterly helpless.

If he had a choice, things wouldn't be like this.

"If you want to kill me, then improve your strength first. Otherwise, you won't have a chance," Li Changfeng said quietly.

Tang Thirteen was stunned. He slowly stood up.

After a long while.

Tang Thirteen wore a gloomy expression. He raised his head and stared intently at Li Changfeng.

"Fine, you're right. I am indeed too weak right now." Tang Thirteen lowered his head, feeling immense frustration.

Facing the murder of his benefactor, Tang Thirteen was powerless.

Tang Thirteen suddenly fell silent, a cold glint appearing in his eyes. In truth, he was very helpless.

If he had another way, he would definitely strike and kill Li Changfeng.

However, the current Tang Thirteen was no match for Li Changfeng; he simply had no means.

"May I ask you a question?" Li Changfeng asked tentatively.

"Go ahead," Tang Thirteen said, raising his head and looking at Li Changfeng after hearing the question.

"Actually, I'm very curious, why is a Tang Family Disciple like you in Mulan Manor?" Li Changfeng lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "Also, why do you want to kill me? Is it really just for revenge?"

Facing this question.

Tang Thirteen felt helpless. He took a deep breath, first calming himself down.

After a long while.

A flood of memories flashed through Tang Thirteen's mind.

"Actually, I am a hostage." Tang Thirteen sighed, his emotions complicated.

"A hostage?" Li Changfeng grew even more curious. The Tang Family was considered a major noble clan in the Jianghu.

But why would the dignified Tang Family be bullied like this by Mulan Manor?

Could there be some other hidden reason?

"That's right. Three months ago, Mulan Manor's great army directly attacked the Tang Family. That day, there was chaos everywhere." Tang Thirteen recalled the events.

Three months ago.

The residence of the Yunzhou Tang Family.

On this day, it was Tang Laoyezi's birthday banquet.

Many influential people in Yunzhou City came to the Tang Family to offer congratulations, but what they hadn't expected was...

...that Mulan Manor's great army would approach.

"I, Tang Mou, thank you all. Today is my birthday, and I thank you all for gracing us with your presence." Tang Laoyezi stood on the high platform, picked up the teacup on the table, and spoke loudly.

"Tang Laoyezi, you speak too seriously. We are all neighbors in Yunzhou City, so there's no need for thanks."

"That's right, Tang Laoyezi, why are you thanking us?"

"Come, I toast you with a cup of wine!"

The guests all stepped forward, raising the wine cups on the tables.

And right at that moment.

The guests respectfully held their wine cups high.

"Thank you all." Tang Laoyezi smiled slightly, tilting his head back and draining the wine in his cup.

Bang!

Following a loud noise.

And right at that moment, everyone's gaze turned toward the source of the sound.

"Tang Familys Old Master, hello! How come you didn't invite us to your birthday?" The speaker was clad in a black robe, and this group clearly meant trouble.

After hearing these words.

Tang Laoyezi turned his head, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Your Excellency is?" Tang Laoyezi's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the approaching group.

"Wang Yi, Commander of Mulan Manor!" Wang Yi stepped forward, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"So it is Commander Wang of Mulan Manor. May I ask what business brings you to my residence today?" Tang Laoyezi smiled slightly.

Wang Yi reached out his hand and made a gesture.

And right at this moment.

Tang Laoyezi's face darkened, and he gasped.

"Of course, I came to wish Tang Laoyezi a happy birthday." Wang Yi smiled slightly and stepped forward.

"To wish me a happy birthday? Very well. Someone, give Commander Wang a seat of honor." Tang Laoyezi smiled slightly, waving his sleeve and ordering the Tang Family Disciples to serve.

"Thank you, Tang Laoyezi." Wang Yi cupped his hands, appearing quite composed.

Afterward, Wang Yi stepped forward and sat down without ceremony.

Tang Laoyezi was quite respectful, ensuring the people from Mulan Manor were properly entertained.

And right at this moment.

Wang Yi stood up once more, raising his head and looking toward Tang Laoyezi from afar.
